Well if you're not too thrilled with Obama, if you feel he didn't live up to his lofty claims, if you weren't impressed with his ability to make things happen, you have another option this 2012 Democratic Primary. Vote for Hillary.
The following states allow for write-in votes of candidates for presidential PRIMARIES that are not on the ballot.
If you live in one of the following states, you can vote with your true intention in this Presidential Primary, and not for someone who let you down.

- States in blue non-bolded, write-ins are allowed but not counted unless the candidate is pre-registered as a write-in candidate.
